Import Tips
• Provide lab tests for clean yield calculation, accounting for moisture (12%) and vegetable matter as defined in US notes
• Ensure declaration specifies 'carded wool' to distinguish from combed varieties in other subheadings
• Avoid common error of importing in bulk rolls without upholstery end-use declaration, risking general fabric classification
